A mother of two will face a murder charge on Wednesday for allegedly stabbing her husband to death after arriving home to find him with another woman. 

The 42-year-old will appear in the Bolobedu magistrate's court in Limpopo.

“It is alleged that the mother of his two children unexpectedly arrived at home and found them in the house. An argument ensued between the two women. The deceased apparently tried to intervene and the suspect allegedly stabbed him with a sharp object,” he said.

“The victim, aged 43, was taken to the local clinic where he was certified dead. Police were called and the woman was arrested,” said Mojapelo.

He said investigations were continuing.
